[edit] Excessive story

The story section seems a bit excessive to me. Is it really necessary to describe every single scene? Frankly, it looks to me like fancruft. —Frungi 20:18, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Fixed it. I kept the intro paragraph, and mentioned the relationship at the end just because it was stressed alot during the game. If I left anything important out, we can always just bring up an older version of the page and try again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.134.103 (talk • contribs) 21:35, December 30, 2006
Condensing it again. I remember composing one of the early drafts for the Plot section, and I'm quite a rambler. 72.94.139.103, one gripe I had about your revision is the verb tense you used -- plot summaries for works of fiction should always be phrased in the present tense, so you should avoid constructs like "Spyro must travel throughout each realm" (which is a future tense construct that is typically reserved for promotional summaries, like what you would read in a magazine or on the back of the gamebox). I'm also not a fan of giving away spoilers (such as the Sorceress's true use for the dragon eggs) right away, so I moved that farther down. As an action-platforming game, the focus for Year of the Dragon is on gameplay over story, so much of what was previously described can be more properly addressed under the Gameplay heading. --Stratadrake 01:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
kool, thanks.

[edit] More Parodies

I am not sure wether this is worth noting, but the Agent 9 minigames parody shooter games. The Dinosaur one is much like Point Blank or Time Crisis, in that you shoot from a set track, and I remember there being one much like Doom. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Floating Banana (talk • contribs) 08:27, May 28, 2007 (UTC)

Those parodies are trivial. Michael Mad 14:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Unless we can verify it to a reliable source, otherwise, we can just leave it at the fact that they parody other games. --Stratadrake 15:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Making More Information

Thought the page was a bit small compared To Other Game Pages So I Just Added some more subjects Like "Gameplay" And "Other Characters"... any issues? User:Crasnex 17 December 2007

There's a lot of really really bad spelling mistakes throughout the article. That is my only issue.--Evildevil (talk) 04:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Yep, well im not a very good speller, sorry, but seriously, the page needed this information, heck it didn't even have gameplay on it user:crasnex 21 December 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.168.56.33 (talk) 03:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
I recommend going through and capitalizing pronouns and things as well. Right now, this article looks like it was written by an elementary schooler. Er... no offense. --Evildevil (talk) 00:45, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
yeah, my spelling is as bad as an elementary schooler, sorry User:Crasnex 23 December 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 04:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
